General topic for help with translation

Hello, I think we need general topic for help with translation of XnViewMP.

Now I have some problem with translating:

Code: Select all

    <message>
        <location filename="DlgConvertProcess.h" line="2426"/>
        <source>Normalize Ex</source>
        <translation type="unfinished"></translation>
    </message>
What does 'Ex' mean? Exponential? or something else?

In regular XnView translation I had the same problem, and probably this isn't translated correctly... :(
Please help

Yes, a good idea, Skiff. Please note that we have a general topic for Translation tricks and traps, already. But not a general topic for questions.

Just guessing: Extended?


What does "Conbright" stand for? Contrast & Brightness? And the same with "Gammasat" (Gamma/Saturation). Translating and then combining the two words does not work very well. :-|

Ex¬posure?

Is that what is commonly called Exposure?
If not, how can I edit exposure?
Ex¬pansion?

It's the name from author of this method, so no need to translate...

Thanks, now I've done translation for 0.27. Attaching in appropriate topic.

@Helmut: I've seen 'Translation Tricks and Traps' topic but questions would be better separated

Yes, I agree(d). Just wanted to make sure that people are aware of the T³ topic (Translation Tricks and Traps). ;-)

Some English terms which don't mean much to me:

1 - QtCopyDialogPrivate > Force: Cannot remove destination file

2 - DlgExportClass > Up

3 - ItemModel > Line


Can someone please help and explain?

When destination file can't be removed
2 - DlgExportClass > Up
Name of PNG filter, Up/Paeth/Avg can be kept in english
3 - ItemModel > Line
When you are in details, you can add Line number to the displayed column

O.k.. And what does "Force" mean?
3 - ItemModel > Line

Hmm, can't find it. Where and how do I set the Line number?

Don't know ;-) QtCopyDialog is not from me

In details, right click to choose which column you would like

2. Same with

Hello! Everywhere it is mentioned "Camera RAW", it should be translated? In some places it seems to me it is necessary to leave simply "RAW"?

Camera Raw (please note the lowercase of "Raw") means the raw data format of the camera. In some languages (e.g. German) the term has found an appropriate translation, but in many languages (e.g. German ;-) ) the original term is also understandable or even clearer. Perhaps you search for websites in your language a bit to see whether translations are available. With leaving the term "Camera Raw" you should be pretty much on the safe side.
